It says That the Account has been Collection Charge Off

ALso My Credit Score Shows as 526 and it says
Your credit ranks higher than 2.52% of the Canadian population also it says
Your creditworthiness is Very Poor

So From that i would like to know.. HOW BAD IS MY SITUATION???
Can i ever recover from it??
Should I PAY rogers Back there money?? nov 2010 will be 7 years ( i called the collection agency who has the rogers account and they said they can settle the account if i pay them 500$ and they will put Paid In Settle on my report instead of it saying "bad"
my student loan was paid of few months ago i paid it off to the collection agency.. Td Visa is ok i am paying it off slowly i have about 400$ to pay i willl pay that by next month..

SO now i want to know if i have any chance to gettin this fix.. am i in a bad position?

My first piece of advice is to go buy Dave Ramsey's book "Total Money Makeover".

Next, get the credit card paid off as soon as humanly possible. Next, the student loan, and then the Rogers bill.

Student loans should always take a high priority, because your tax refunds can be withheld and redirected to pay off government loans. Your wages could also possibly be garnisheed. If that happens, forget the 7 year blemish: whenever you fill out applications for new credit (and sometimes new jobs), you will be asked if your wages have ever been garnisheed.

Answering yes to that question puts one big strike against you.

Best of luck to you.

Your credit is fairly low, by the way. Still, keep in perspective that your credit rating is your attractiveness to potential lenders. Since you should be avoiding lenders like the plague at this time, just focus on getting your debts paid off, and don't worry too much about the rating.

Just be glad you know exactly where you stand, and what needs to be done from here.
